Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu Layla ibn Abdullah ibnAbd ar-Rahman ibn Sahl from Sahl ibn Abi Hathma that some of the greatmen of his people informed him that Abdullah ibn Sahl and Muhayyisawent out to Khaybar because extreme poverty had overtaken them.Muhayyisa returned and said that Abdullah ibn Sahl had been killed andthrown in a shallow well or spring. The jews came and he said, "ByAllah! You have killed him." They said, "By Allah! We have not killedhim!" Then he made for his people and mentioned that to them. Then he,his brother Huwayyisa, who was older than him, and Abd ar-Rahman, setout. Muhayyisa began to speak, as he had been at Khaybar. TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said tohim, "The greater first, the greater first," meaning in age. SoHuwayyisa spoke and then Muhayyisa spoke. The Messenger of Allah, mayAllah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Either they pay yourcompanion's blood-money or we will declare war against them." TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, wrotethat to them and they wrote, "By Allah, we did not kill him!" TheMessenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said toHuwayyisa, Muhayyisa, and Abd ar-Rahman, "Do you swear and claim theblood of your companion?" They said, "No." He said, "Shall the jewsswear to you?" They said, "But they are not muslims." The Messenger ofAllah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave blood-money fromhis own property, and sent them one hundred camels to their house. Sahl added, "A red camel among them kicked me."
